Tamara Richardson Obituary

On January 4th, 2024 Tamara Jean Richardson got her wings and went to walk with the Angels after passing peacefully at her home in Grant Township, Michigan. She leaves behind a mark that her family will cherish forever. Born on September 20th, 1967 in Waukegan, Illinois she was the beloved daughter to Hank and Lorraine Richardson. Tamara spent her early years excelling in school with dreams of becoming a doctor. She began her career as an EMT and later became a preschool teachers assistant at Saint James Catholic School. She thoroughly enjoyed music, dancing, animals and being surrounded by friends. Tamara was also a thrill seeker, often going off roading and snowmobiling. She then grew her roots in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where she could enjoy the elegant nature of the north. She leaves behind her beloved Children, Jeffrey Davis, Danielle McHenry, Bradford Maki, Frankie Saliba, Brother Todd Richardson, and Grandsons Harper Davis, Kash Davis, and Jackson McHenry. In lieu of flowers, and to honor Tamara's love for animals, we ask that you donate to your local animal shelter and keep Tamara and her family in your prayers through this difficult time.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I have good memories of your Mom when we were kids: swimming out in Lake Superior in Shelter Bay. Thinking of your family. Prayers and peace to you.
